4. soon, the GREAT cleansing will come

and everything will be all clean and shiny again

[Mike Niendorff]

13. note the "purification" language here, too.

It's one of the things Dave Neiwert has commented on a lot (ie: the RW's penchant for the same "national purification" talk that fascist movements have historically used).

2. So foreign leaders are commanding US troops now?

That was the first thing I thought when NPR reported on this in almost exactly the same headline and manner.

Great.

9. Why I thought it was one of the main points of the campaign

But then I might have been paying TOO close attention to such matters.

[jpatti]

11. When you clean, everything ends up shiny and *white*.

[spanone]

12. Don't you love the wording. Since we've shit all over Iraq......

maybe as in 'ethnic cleansing'?

[Javaman]

14. Isn't this a Blitzkrieg or Ethnic Cleansing?

Nice to see that we are learning from the past only to repeat it.
